I bought PNY VCG8600GXXB (GeForce 860 GX) )video card to speed up the video conversion on my CENTOS 5.4 running on sempron processor.
What software can i use to do video conversion of different video formats?
I think that the biggest problem that I have had is that some of the music (and audio books) that I have gotten have not played on my walkman, or have not been able to be downloaded in to I-tunes.
First: I hate itunes... I only try to make it work because I love my wife. (and do not want her to hit me)
Second: I know that my Walkman has a very limited range of files that it can play, so I will need to convert some types of files.
But my basic questions:
* How can I figure out what format a file is in?
* Below that, how can I identify the singular characteristics of a file? (bit rate, and other formats...)
* Is there a best way to switch the formats or format options of these files. (I am currently using sox to do this, it seems to very complete)
Basically. I know nothing! The most that I do not know is that two files that as far as I can tell have the same formats, and should work the same never the less, one of them works, the other does not. I am looking to figure out a way to look at these files (maybe they are mislabeled) and figure out what their real format is (and a more complete format than just being MP3 or such) and then to be able to convert it in to a format that is able to be used by myself and/or my wife.

I'd like to know what other people are using to shrink final file size. Also changing file formats from .aviso that I can just use these same files on the little personal video players the kids got for Christmas would be great. They support a number of file types which escapes me at the moment.

Earlier today I downloaded a video of a Mozilla Project preview, in MP4. Of course, it won't play. All I get is the audio, and this error:
Quote:
"An error occurred. The playback of this movie requires a H.264 decoder plugin which is not installed."
I put in some time, researching this issue, trying to figure it all out. I guess I'm looking in the wrong places. Is this a proprietary format issue? Also, when I was overdosing on XP, my media drug of choice was Klite mega codec pack (from codecs.com). It literally plays every media format, audio and video. In addition to fixing the above issue, can somebody guide me to an equivalent player with codecs for [insert any media type here]? I have several Terrabytes of various video and audio files, and prefer to not convert them all.
I am trying to export a video in openshot video editor and I get this on export error:
The following formats/codecs are missing from your system:
libx264
libmp3lame
You will not be able to use the selected export profile. You will need to install the missing formats/codecs or choose a different export profile. I installed the codecs already.
I would like to ask if there is any video editing program that can save to uncompressed file formats.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi have written a bash script to convert flv files (e.g. videos) to xvid to be played on my dvd player. the conversion is not really the issue, as it works. what i am dealing with now are 2 problems i have not found a good workarouond:
1. surpressing the shell output of mencoder completely ( i do not want to see all the mencoder messages). this i have only solved to a certain extend.
2. i want to create a progress bar. this one i have not yet cracked.
the script:
code:
#!/bin/bash
## settings
v_bitrate=768
video_opts="-ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=$v_bitrate:autoaspect"
audio_opts="-oac mp3lame -lameopts fast:preset=standard"
store_dir=./converted_files .....
#start the script
main_menu
1. mencoder output: using /dev/null works more or less. for example: if mencoder detects a double frame while converting, a message is still printed on the bash screen
2. progressbar: i have no clue yet on how to do this. any link or tip is welcome.
my goal is something like this:

I spent about a half hour wrestling with different website tutorials about how to convert a file with ffmpeg and figuring out how to get all the video quality options right. Then I discovered you can just use the -sameq option and it figures it all out for you if you don't want to change the vid quality but just want it in another format. Thought I'd leave this on the site in case anyone else finds himself in the same boat.

The music I ripped with Sound Juicer, or ripped with VLC and tagged with EasyTag both have the same tag issues. The tags work great system-wide in Ubuntu, and if I drop the song on a data CD and put it in my Pioneer stereo, the tags work there, too. I can put the song on my Walkman and then copy it to another Ubuntu machine, and the tags work on the second machine, as well.
However, the Walkman lists the song as Unknown Song, Unknown Artist, Unknown Album. Further, if I transport the file into Windows, the Windows system doesn't recognize the tags, either.This begs the question, are there multiple tag formats?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have question(s) about file formats and line endings and would like to know how you manage this. Here is the thing: I am sharing files with a Windows user and we run into some problems of formatting: He send me files in UTF-8 and with the Windows line ending and when I open them, modify them and send them back, he got them with the unix file ending and in UTF-8 or sometimes ANSII. I know that for example in gedit (as most of the files are .htm files that I modify and send them back to him or upload directly on the net after modification) when you use "saving as" you can change the line ending and also UTF-8 or else, But the thing is that it is pretty time consuming to do a "save as" with an existing file and change the attributes when you have to deal with dozens of files. So I searched on the web and heard about tofrodos, which I installed and worked well besides that it only changes the line ending. So I was wondering: how you deal with those formats/line ending compatibility issue and how you avoid loosing time because of this but still manage to get your fellow windows users shraing files with youif you know command line tools that would enable me to modify the line ending and the formats of file(s) (also pretty basic but I didnīt find a way to check/display those attributes from the command line)tell me more about the web, as it should be the same problem (and even worst as the are a lost of unix devices acting as servers) but still windows users donīt have any problem displaying pages with are documents stored with their own line endings and formatting.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAn Audacity build for Fedora 9 that has MP3 import and FFMpeg support built-in?
The one provided in Fedora-suggested repositories (audacity.i386 0:1.3.7-0.4.beta.fc9.2) is useless - has none of the above. One can't import MP3, WAV, OGG,... - nothing. The only option is to record and export to MP3 (with Lame).
To be honest, I can't understand why people are supplying such builds.
I understand it's quicker to build it from soruces in my case, but if anyone cares to replace the mentioned version with actually useful one, it could be a good deed.
I have a Firefox addon called Download Helper that lets me download many of the videos I see on the internet. Sometimes, I run into something I can't. I'd like to know exactly how to download these files: [URL]. It seems they are encoded with their own player, but mousing over them also brings up Adobe Flash Player 10.0. Download helper normally gets this stuff. Is there a Firefox extension or a program that would let me capture these videos? Or, for that matter, one that could succinctly tell me upon mousing over a video exactly what kind of file it is?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHere's a question for audio compression nerds. I currently store music ripped form CD's in FLAC format on my HD. I would like to store them as OGG files to save space.
My quandry is this; I need to create both MP3 and OGG files. Both formats are "lossy". I imagine that each format must have different ways of deciding what to lose. Therefore, I am losing some stuff when I rip it in the first place, and converting would lose additional (and dfferent) stuff.
To give you an idea about what sounds okay to me, I believe I can tell the difference between 128 Kbps and 192, but not 192 and 256.
Am I being like the guy who waxes his headlisghts to increase gas mileage here?
